A Modern, Cohesive Digital Experience

Carnegie partnered with Carnegie Mellon to transform a complex, decentralized web ecosystem into a unified, scalable, and story-driven platform that reflects the university’s global reputation.

The website redesign focused on:

  • Creating a cohesive information architecture across a distributed institution
  • Building a flexible design system that works across multiple CMS platforms
  • Developing 50+ pages of search-optimized, user-centered content
  • Establishing a foundation for long-term governance and growth

The result is a modern higher education web experience that not only elevates Carnegie Mellon’s brand but also empowers internal teams to maintain and evolve their digital presence with confidence.
